16 oz can pours and looks like an apricot juice, down to the pulp on the sides of the glass. Smell is pleasant for picking out that apricot and peach nose. Expected tartness of a Berliner Weisse is overwhelmed by sweet fruit flavor. But that's exactly what the Bistro series promises, so give them points. Yeah, a little vanilla and cinnamon in there, too. Tartness finally assets itself enough to curl my tongue.

Can (thanks GodOfThunder!). Hazy yellowish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is zesty, some sugary, mild cherries and some earthy elements. Flavour is oats, pineapple, some cherries, mild sugary sweetness and some porridge like elements. Oatmeal porridge with pineapples in the aftertaste.

Can sample at a Yana's tasting at Stas' place. Viscous yellow-orange, smoothie-like. Lots of winter spices, pumpkin, sweet.

16 oz. can from The Bat Cave. Pours a pitch black color with a small light tan head and good retention. Very good lacing. As expected, strong coconut aroma. Sticky sweet and strong coconut and mild chocolate flavors with a boozy finish. Too sweet. Not enough roasted malts and chocolate flavor to balance the flavor. It's Iike drinking alcoholic suntan lotion. Slick mouthfeel. Medium+ body. Almost no carbonation. Light bitterness. The 10.0% ABV is pretty well hidden, but you're gonna need a nap. Too sweet and too much alcohol.
